AmaZulu FC striker Bonginkosi Ntuli dies at the age of 32.

The footballer passed away shortly after tying the knot with the club’s CEO Sinenjabulo Zungu in a lavish wedding ceremony in September.


Zungu is the daughter of the club’s owner and president Sandile Zungu.

It was reported on Sunday that Bonginkosi died of cancer.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we inform you of the untimely passing of our beloved centre-forward and loyal servant, Bonginkosi Ntuli,” the club said in a statement.

“Ntuli was (very recently) diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, which metastasised and ultimately led to his death at the Midlands Medical Centre Private Hospital in Pietermaritzburg this afternoon.”

“May his beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. The club requests privacy and patience be granted to his family and friends at this difficult time. Further announcements will be made in due course.”
